Blomstedt, who will be 95 years old this year (2022), made the first set of all R. Strauss recordings for 3 albums on the DENON label. The combination with the composer's Dresden Staatskapelle has an unrivaled charm. Using the ORT mastering system originally developed by Nippon Columbia, it was converted to high resolution and revived with the sound field and sound quality unique to SACD. The CD layer also uses this remastered sound source.
Blomstedt and Staatskapelle Dresden started the project with Bruckner: Symphony No. 7 recorded in 1980 as a joint production with Nippon Columbia and Germany Schallplatten at the time, and Mozart's Symphony Nos. 40 & 41 in August of the following year. After recording Bruckner's No. 4 in the following month, and Mozart's No. 38 & 39 in 1982, a total of 4 albums were completed at this point (April 2022 TWSA 1117, 1119). Blomstedt served as the principal conductor from 1975 to 1985, and in this combination, German Schallplatten and the complete symphonies of Beethoven and Schubert, masterpieces such as Dvořák's Symphony No. 8 (SACD version with Berlin Classics) (Already released as a project) was recorded, and it was a time when the reputation was increasing both in name and reality. At the end of his term of office, in September 1984, "Hero's Life" was recorded. Together with the excellent recording, this board has become a big reputation in Japan. From 1985, Blomstedt was transferred to the music director of the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, but R. Strauss' recording continued after this, recording a total of 5 songs in 1987 and 1989, recording a total of 5 songs with the DENON label. Recording has ended.
These recordings with the Dresden Staatskapelle, the orchestra associated with R. Strauss, are a trinity of Blomstedt's sincere attitude towards his works, his high level of musical maturity, and the charming sound of the traditional orchestra. It is one of the sound sources that has been highly evaluated among the overseas recordings of the DENON label. Speaking of Dresden Staatskapelle's R. Strauss recordings, there are a series of recordings by Kempe in the 1970s, but the existence value of these recordings has never diminished, rather the conductor's way of conveying the charm of the work And the depth of the Dresden Staatskapelle, which conveys the skill of the orchestration, is felt. In particular, Peter Dam's horn performance is great, and you can feel the high level of accuracy and level, including the completeness of the entire ensemble and each solo player.
